Paul Barman... now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.

@Steve - I think you'll like!
@Josh - Did someone seriously say "bro" to you, here?
"Bro" is my leaat favorite non-swear word, displacing even "moist".
If anyone were to combine "reach out" and "bro" my eyeballs would pop out of my head & years of pent up angst would shatter the brick walls of my home. NOT kidding.

@mariano - I do not understand Bronies, but they do not disgust me. I actually babysit a 6th grade Brony, and his interest in MLP is really, really...intense. And he is an exceptionally handsome, polite, non-geeky young man, with tons of girls in his class totally crushed out on him.

Did y'all know that Mick Collins is a Furry? Again, to each their own.

@IXKey - :-)
@Alex - I'd never heard "bro" til a few years ago, and then it was always used by sterotypical awful drunk frat boys & wannabes, and now it's everywhere!

I remember watching The Monkees on Saturday mornings and some of the songs they played.

@Holly in NC - How would you know that about someone if not through 1st hand experience in the sack, I wonder?

@bobdoesthings, what if you work in NYC & want to take a lunch break and actually see things before you buy them? During my first high school job working for some crappy city agency, that place was a relative oasis.

To be fair, there's a difference between kids who are not letting gender norms dictate which shows they love and the 30 year old men who buy up all the toys and make the cute kids show sexual. Yay to the little boys who aren't afraid to love the show, though!

@jake.. ahh sorry.. I figured adding "bro" to a sentence would instantly invalidate it for all.. I'm joking around

@bob, cool. People ask me why I have museum memberships & like to go galleries. You know why? Those are the last places in NYC you can creatively slack in. Why WFMU is great too.

@Holly: I gained some real respect for the bronies when I read recently about the "Brony Wars" on 4chan. Apparently the bronies are the only group to successfully take on 4chan, they wound up with their own MLP page on the site.
@bob: I got the joke, but not without a twinge of guilt, since I've been known to order from Amazon.

Harry H. isn't insincere; he occupies that mystical plane where smarmy, full of shit, and sincerity are one

@PSS: there's a Brony Wars doc? Good to know, must search it out. Just found out about it recently. My only exposure to MLP comes from my 6 y.o. niece, who seems fairly mesmerized by it. Makes my job easier when I'm looking after her!

Holly in NC:
@pss - My young Brony friend (yes he's young, but WAY older than other non-Brony MLP viewers - his 7 y/o sister w. Down Syndrome doesn't care for it anymore) gets up at 5:30 am everyday to watch MLP for 1 1/2 hours before he needs to make breakfast & get ready for school.

@mariano - It's a Pony documentary, but the first part covers the 4chan battle in detail.

@pss - I just recently read a great NYT article written by the father of a severely locked-in, non communicative, non verbal autistic child, said child ended up being able to communicate through Disney movies. Really interesting & moving!

didn't pick up the Let's Active thing this time around but will listen out for it next time. I saw a Facebook update a few days ago that said Fred came through the surgery fine so hopefully he'll have a smooth recovery.

@bobdoesthings - It does not get better. it gets much, much worse. Currently sitting on 1 sq foot patch of king size bed, 1 wee cat somehow has all contiguous space ;-)
